    Diesel Cetane Ratings

    I was getting fuel the other day when I started talking with a man who had a Dodge 3500 with the Cummins who was from VA. He advised me in VA the cetane ratings are posted on the pumps allowing him to fuel up at the stations that advertise a cetane rating of 45 instead of 40. I wished MD had...

    Slight drip oil plug

    I changed the oil/oil filter today (2002 F350) and have always noticed a very minor drip at the oil drain plug. I always use the M14 cooper washer and tighten the drain plug without over doing it. I know the Fumoto is available, but I am not interested right now. Any other ideas? Thanks

    rottela t oil

    I have the 7.3 (2002 F350) and have tried the MC 15w40/ Rotella 15w40/ and during my last oil change about 3500 miles ago I tried the Delo 15w40. I can't explain it, but my truck seems to like the Delo the best. It runs a little smoother/quieter at start up and less useage so far between...

    Question Belt

    I can only advise to carefully inspect the belt as best you can visually looking at both sides for cracks/ wearing that comes with age. I changed the belt on my 2002 at 70,000 or so becuase I saw the belt was starting to slightly come apart from the inside. My upper tensioner bearing was wearing...

    Mirror Question

    I have a question about the factory tow mirrors. I have a 2002 F350 with the factory (elephant ear) electric tow mirrors. Will the factory lighted/heated tow mirrors that are on the 2003 F250/F350 directly plug in to my set up on the 2002 model or will there be other wiring concerns to deal...

    Thanks Guys, Do you think this can cause front end issues/wear? I must admit the 315's sound good.

    Rancho Shocks/Steering Stabilizer

    Thanks for the feedback. I don't do a whole lot of heavy work with my truck. Hopefully, the Rancho's will last a little longer. I am actually surprised I have gotten 77,000 miles out of my OEM's. I am not sure who made the OEM's for Ford.

    Rancho Shocks/Steering Stabilizer

    My 2002 F350 has 77,000 on the clock. I am replacing the original factory shocks/stabilizer with the Rancho shocks/steering stabilizer. I was wondering if any of you guys could give some feed back on my choice good or bad? Thanks bot

    New Exhaust

    I am going to put on a new exhaust system in my 2002 F350 7.3 this week. I went with the MBPR stainless from the turbo back. I already have the AIS Intake. I am guessing my rig will run a little better along with the EGT's also a little lower and the turbo will spool up quicker and a little...

    Good price on Motorcraft PSD 15W-40?

    iracemine I have used the MC 15w40 several years back in my 2002 F350 7.3, no issues at all. I am now using Delo so far so good, truck likes the Delo. Anyway, I think the MC 15w40 is a decent oil and I think it is still made by Conoco-Phillips? The 5 quart jugs make the oil changes a little...

    Autometer Gauges

    Thanks Michael for the reply. I have noticed my Autometer volt gauge reads around 14.1/14.3 after the glow plugs cycle off. When the glow plugs are cyclying, the volt gauge stays in the 12.0 area. bot

    Autometer Gauges

    BJS, I really don't do any heavy pulling/hauling and I keep the fluid changed every 25000 or so. I like the volt gauge to let me monitor the charging system. I could never understand why the engineers at Ford didn't include a volt or amp gauge to begin with? But thanks for the information.

    Oil Question

    I have read posts on various diesel sites where PSD owners say they were using brand "X" oil and would have to add a quart or two between changes. They go on to say they changed to brand "Y" and brand "Y" solved the issue of adding as much or no oil between changes. Is that possible? Thanks bot

    Randy H, You are correct, the FL1995 is only for the 7.3, I was thinking snoxer20x had a 7.3, like me, my mistake. bot
